Quick gold sale

The offer was noticeably higher than the two other places I checked, which surprised me. I had a few quotes lined up before sending my old chain off and this one came out on top. The payment landed in my account a couple of days after they got the parcel and I was happy with that.

needed cash for a bill

I had an unexpected car repair bill and needed the money quickly, so I looked at a few options before settling on this one. The quote was straightforward and I could see the breakdown of what I was being paid for. The payment hit my account a few days after the pack was received, which was just what I needed.

Decent prices

Honestly they're a good option if you want to sell gold without faffing about. I sent a bracelet and a couple of rings and the offer was fine, not the best I've seen but fair enough. The only thing that annoyed me was the packaging instructions, they were a bit fiddly and I had to read them twice. Payment came through quickly after they got the parcel.

Sold my late mother's gold

I'd put off selling my late mother's gold for a long time, as it felt rather sad to part with it. Eventually I needed the money to help with some household bills, so I made the decision. The staff were gentle and considerate, and the valuation was explained in plain terms. The money arrived promptly after the items were received.

Fair but slow

Sold them a few old gold rings. The verdict is that the offer was reasonable but I'd expected something a bit higher given what the rings weighed. Price was on the lower side of what I'd been quoted elsewhere. The payment was delayed by a few days because they got in touch to check a stone.

Quick one, all good

Signed up on the app during my lunch break and it took about five minutes. Posted a box of old gold on Tuesday, they confirmed receipt Thursday and the money was in my account by Friday. Nothing to fault, will use again.

Better than the high street

Compared to the jewellers on the high street, which offered me a fraction of what the gold was worth, this was a much better deal. I sent in a chain and two old rings, and checked the offer against the day's price before accepting. The kit was easy to use, the parcel got there quickly and the payment came through a couple of days later. Nothing about it felt rushed or pushy, so I'd use them again.

First time selling gold

Compared to the pawn shop down the road, the online process felt much less awkward, and I didn't have to queue or explain myself to anyone. The form took about ten minutes to fill in and the kit arrived quickly. The only bit that dragged was waiting for the payment reference, which took a day longer than I expected.

Better than the shop

Way better than taking my stuff to a high street shop where they offer you next to nothing. Got a decent price for my broken earrings and the money was in my bank within a couple of days, so no complaints really.

sold some old gold

Sent off a broken chain and a single earring I never wear. Got the kit in two days, posted it same afternoon, and the money was in my account by Thursday. Quick and easy.

Found them fair

I have to say the first thing I noticed was how clearly the terms were set out before I posted anything, which I appreciated. The valuation was in line with what I'd been quoted elsewhere and the payment arrived as promised. I've no complaints and I'd be happy to deal with them again.

Sensible way to sell

I've been selling bits of gold to this firm on and off for a good few years now, so I knew what to expect. The process was the same as always. The only thing I'd mention is that the payment took a day longer than I expected to reach my bank, which was a small niggle.

Sold my wife's brooch

I'd been thinking about selling my late wife's gold brooch for some time and finally got round to it. The valuation was courteous and the staff explained clearly how they arrived at the figure. Payment arrived promptly after the item was received, and I was very grateful for the discretion shown throughout.

sold my late husband's ring

I sent in his wedding ring and a pair of diamond earrings that I'd been meaning to sell for years. The valuation came back fair and I was told exactly what each piece was worth before I agreed to anything. The cheque arrived in the post within the week and the whole thing was done without any pressure. I've used them twice now and I'd happily go back again if I ever needed to.

quick and easy

Would use them again, the whole thing took about a day. Put my details in on the site, they sent a kit and the money landed in my account the following afternoon. Nothing awkward, no pressure to take less. Just did what it said.

first sale went smoothly

Compared with the adverts for cash-for-gold places I'd seen, this one was far more upfront about how the process worked. I wasn't sure what to expect and the instructions for posting were clear. The payment came through in a few days and the whole thing felt simple.

Sold old necklace

Sold an old gold necklace through the app on the bus. Booked a postage label, dropped it off at the post office and the money went in within a few days. Easy.

Posted my dad's watch chain

The box arrived with a prepaid label inside and the whole thing was sorted in a couple of days. Gold was valued and the payment hit my account the same week, so no complaints there, and I'd happily use them again for anything else I've got lying about.

Sold my broken bracelet

Sent off a broken gold bracelet I'd been keeping in a box for years. The form was a bit long and asked for more detail than I expected, but it wasn't a problem. The offer was fair and the payment reached me a few days after the parcel was delivered.
